One eternal situation of Christianity is that the popularity of false mysticism and questionable spirituality will constantly blind honest seekers to the truth, which is the gift of God. Today, when there is a revival of interest in the mystics of the 14th century, it is unlikely that the works of Walter Hilton will top any best seller lists. The scope of Walter's work is far beyond the limitations of this essay, but several outstanding points, illustrated in his works, are both inspiring and delightful, if our 21st century blinders are removed. Walter dealt with many problems in his readership that continue to exist and had existed for fourteen centuries in his day! He presented eternal truths and sought to clarify equally eternal confusion. Walter is the truly learned man, and his works include hundreds of references to the Scriptures and the works of the Fathers and theologians which spanned many centuries.
